Who Should I Start? Clyde Edwards-Helaire or Isaiah Spiller

Saturday, September 23, 9:29 PM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire may be called upon for a more noticeable role if Isiah Pacheco (hamstring) is absent or limited for Sunday's game. The 24-year-old hasn't done much of note with his 10 touches this year, but could be looking at an advantageous setup in Week 3 versus the 0-2 Chicago Bears, who were pierced for fantasy's overall RB1 and RB9 finishes out of Aaron Jones and Rachaad White respectively in the first two contests. Chicago's defense has caved in as a run funnel unit in the early goings, and Edwards-Helaire could check in as a reasonable RB3/FLEX bet as the favorite for base work, but only if Pacheco is inactive for this one. Whoever handles the bulk of K.C.'s backfield touches should display plenty of touchdown upside with the Chiefs projecting as heavy favorites to come out on top.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Isaiah Spiller ran well despite limited chances in Sunday's preseason game against the New Orleans Saints. Spiller ran the ball five times, picking up 27 yards on the ground including a long of 18 yards. He ended up second on the team in running back carries behind Elijah Dotson, but outgained him by six yards regardless. Spiller, Dotson, and Joshua Kelley are competing for a role in the Chargers backfield behind starter Austin Ekeler.
